Once you’ve put your reps on the map, the default pin does the job, but it doesn’t say much. A rep, a warehouse, and a regional office all look the same. Custom rep icons fix that, and they make a map full of people far easier to read.
What You Can Do
AlignMix gives you more than 100 icons to represent your reps, and a few clicks swaps the marker. Use them to tell roles apart at a glance: a person icon for field reps, a building for offices, a box for warehouses or distribution points. On a national map with dozens of locations, that visual shorthand is the difference between a map someone reads and one they have to decode.

A Few Sensible Choices
Keep the set small and meaningful, so a handful of clearly different icons beats twenty near-identical ones. Match the icon to what it represents, since a warehouse that looks like a warehouse needs no legend. And stay consistent across your maps, because once people learn that the blue building is a regional office, every deck and shared map that keeps it reads faster. It’s the same instinct behind sensible account icons, applied to your people instead of your customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different icons for reps, offices, and warehouses?
Yes. AlignMix includes over 100 icons, so you can give reps, offices, warehouses, and other locations each their own marker.
How do I change a sales rep’s icon?
Open the rep or location’s settings and pick a new icon from the library; the marker updates on the map.
Do icon changes affect my data?
No. Icons are a display setting, so your rep assignments and locations don’t change when you restyle the markers.
